Now You Can Wear Resident Evil

Lucky Japan got Resident Evil 5 ahead of the rest of the world with the game making it out into shops today. Apparently not content with people simply playing the game, Capcom Japan celebrated the release with the unveiling of some slick Resident Evil 5 clothing that will allow players to look good while they blast zombies.

Capcom will be offering up two jackets: a BSAA Fleece Jacket, and a BSAA PCU Jacket. These will be priced at, respectively, 18,690 yen and 22,890 yen. We attempted to convert these values into dollars and our calculators told us that they're too expensive.

As the names suggest, these outfits are themed around RE5's BSAA anit bio-terrorism group. Capcom is even offering up patches for the North American and West African BSAA units of which main characters Chris and Sheva are respectively a part. The patches will be available both in full color and "subdued" (monotone) varieties, priced at 2,520 yen each or as a two pack costing 4,410 yen.

The items aren't available yet, but will make it out some time this month, meaning buyers will be able to wear Resident Evil fleece just in time for spring!

Interested parties (who should probably make sure they have a Japanese address) can pre-order the items at the e-Capcom sales site and through a military and outdoors supply shop called Phantom.
